Hi...i would like imformation invovling growing venuus fly traps indoor using hydroponics. first all i would like the best way to plant vft's in..such as a simple plastic pot...or an aquiruim etc...also i would like to know the best mixture of soil for the plant...also the best lighting arrangment....ph level...wat type of food to give the plant...etc. thank you

noo buddy listen up...i would like to know where to keep my venus fly trap such as a common plastic pot or whatever...next i want a soil best for the vfp's...and the best types of light such as 1 bulb per plant and wat kind of light there are soo many types!!! also wat to feed them i grow other plants and wanna know wat they like as food in there water...

oo and by the way im not growing them on water...im growing them indoors for now then putting them outsided here and there to get natural food! basically heres my list
1) best type of container to grow vft's
2) best soil (mixture of some sort) or one single coil
3) best type of artificial light
4)best food for the plant...like a type of additive you give in the water or something
5) humidity level vft's pefer...i know thanks to you they like 6ph...
and for leaf cuttings...you peel away a leaf right to its whitish root beneath the soil...i uunderstand that part...but how do you plant the leaf cutting whitish part in the soil with leaf sticking straight up?

Container: plastic and three inches in diameter is good try to find a deep one though.
Soil: peat moss and perlite. Make sure its real peat moss though.
Type of light: 2 fluorescent bulbs placed 8 inches away from the plant
Food: never use plant food use the bug a month plan
Humidity: 40%+

alright thank you for the information...although i still have several more question to ask...you know that idea where you put peat moss in a cloth and dip the tea bag of peat moss in the water and then it turns the ph to 6 or so well is that true and good? because i have ph down and up i can make a water a certain ph without using that technique. next describe the best way to produce more fly traps!
